If your organisation recruit staff and/or volunteers into the children and young people’s workforce staff should be trained in safer recruitment practices. The Independent Schools Inspectorate and Ofsted recommend that schools ensure that sufficient relevant staff are trained in safer recruitment processes.
We recognise that schools and education settings are becoming increasingly accountable for safeguarding children when recruiting and selecting staff.
This accredited training supports schools to effectively discharge their responsibilities for safer recruitment.
This course is ideal for:
Headteachers and Deputy Heads
Designated Safeguarding Leads
Pastoral Care Leaders
Senior Lead or Senior Management Team Members
Any member of staff taking part in an appointment panel
Any administrative staff who support appointment panels
Taking appropriate action includes preventing unsuitable people from working with children; promoting safe practice and challenging unsafe practice; identifying situations where there are grounds for concern about a child and ensuring that all those who are involved in providing services for children work in effective partnerships.
Course Outcomes: Participants will:
Explore how to meet current expectations in relation to the appointment of staff
Learn about how perpetrators operate and what this means for recruitment practice

Testimonials from delegates who have attended this event:
Clearer identification of the necessary safeguarding checks people working in schools need in order to keep our children safe
Great strategies for deterring people for applying for a role in school who do not have the children's best interests at heart
Anyone recruiting to posts working with children would learn something
It was very comprehensive - the full day was helpful - and thoughtful
It will help me contribute effectively, as a school governor, to discussions and decisions relating to safeguarding issues/policies. It will also enable me to participate usefully in recruitment panels at the school
The course exceeded my expectations, and covered in depth all areas for consideration for safer recruitment and safeguarding children. There was plenty of scope for discussion, group work and questions, and a good balance of information and problem solving using scenarios/hypothetical situations
